A little while ago I was approached to make a baby quilt for a friend who was expecting her first Grandbaby, Silas. The Parents-to-be wanted a blue/orange colour scheme, but weren't too particular on the design.
We selected the adorable Riley Blake's One for the Boys and found that the fabric was perfect for the colour scheme. The majority of the fabrics in this line were pretty subdued. There was one orange fabric that seemed to pop out.

During a staff meeting at my day job (I promise I really was paying attention), I sketched out some ideas that would make the orange fabric pop. The idea was to have the orange fabric "bounce" throughout the quilt.
Makes sense right?
After a little bit of playing, this was the final design.

The top was quilted with a navy blue straight line quilting and a soft taupe minky was used on the back.
Doesn't that backing just make you want to cuddle with the quilt?
